Jackie Chan To Stop Making Action Movies

May 18th, 2012

According to an interview given in Cannes, Jackie Chan will be stepping away from action movies entirely. His latest movie, "Chinese Zodiac" will mark his last foray into stunt-filled world of action films as the actor, now 58, focuses his career towards roles that will showcase more of his acting abilities. At one point during the interview, Chan stated: "The world is too violent now. I love fighting but I hate violence."

YouTube Thursday: Amazing Video Of Bruce Lee Delivering A Devastating 6-Inch Punch

May 17th, 2012

We just thought we'd share another entertaining little video tidbit that stumbled across on the internets. If you haven't seen it before, you're in for a treat!

This short clip shows none other than the martial arts master himself delivering what can only be described as the worlds most incredible 6-inch punch. I'm still trying to figure out if the guy on the receiving end of said punch is brave or incredibly stupid.

It Came From The Internet: Man Sells Suspicious Steven Seagal "DVD" To Sell Weapon

May 16th, 2012

You gotta love Craigslist, you really do. It may be the Internet equivalent of the Mos Eisley Cantina, but you can always count on a good laugh or two. Like this guy.

At some point, this poor guy decided that it would actually be a good idea to try to sell a gun on Craigslist. So much so, that he devoted what had to be fair amount of time in concocting this amazing posting selling said weapon under the guise of an Under Siege "DVD".

While it's normally a good idea to call upon the martial arts expertise of Mr. Seagal to aid one in the selling of a weapon, it would seem this attempt was far from subtle.

"Films of Fury: The Kung Fu Movie Movie" Trailer Hits The Internet Like A One Inch Punch

May 16th, 2012

No, it's not a typo. The new martial arts documentary is actually an adaptation of Ric Meyers' book of the nearly identical title: "Films of Fury: The Kung Fu Movie Book". In both his book and movie script, Meyers brings a sharp, humorously insightful look at one of films most prolific sub-genres, the Kung Fu movie. The result is what appears to be a uniquely entertaining portrait of martial arts movies and the people that make them shine.

We'll be trying to make some time to squeeze this one into our schedules, but as soon as we do, we'll let you know how it fares in a review.

Kung Fu Vettel: Drive of the Dragon Short Is Officially Released

May 14th, 2012

For those of who are gigantic fans of extra cheesy martial arts action, the much anticipated Kung Fu film/commercial "Kung Fu Vettel: Drive of the Dragon" has finally landed on Internet shores. And it's about what you'd expect.

It's entertaining as far as light-hearted martial arts 'films' centered around a paper-thin premise with a luxury car tie-in starring race car champions go. But that's about it. Honestly, I know it's a glorified commercial that can only fit so much story/action in approximately 5 minutes, but I've seen some pretty darn good 5-minute short films that managed to be more interesting with half the budget.

I hate to be a total downer about it, so watch the film for yourself and let us know what you think in a comment.
